This collection features fresh, lesser-known brain teasers with clear solutions, appealing to both casual puzzlers and math enthusiasts. Highly rated and a top seller in recreational mathematics, it offers a timeless mental workout that fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills. ## Description Over a period of 25 years as author of the Mathematical Games column for Scientific American, Martin Gardner devoted a column every six months or so to short math problems or puzzles. He was especially careful to present new and unfamiliar puzzles that had not been included in such classic collections as those by Sam Loyd and Henry Dudeney. Later, these puzzles were published in book collections, incorporating reader feedback on alternate solutions or interesting generalizations. The present volume contains a rich selection of 70 of the best of these brain teasers, in some cases including references to new developments related to the puzzle. Now enthusiasts can challenge their solving skills and rattle their egos with such stimulating mind-benders as The Returning Explorer, The Mutilated Chessboard, Scrambled Box Tops, The Fork in the Road, Bronx vs. Brooklyn, Touching Cigarettes, and 64 other problems involving logic and basic math. Solutions are included. Review: Classic puzzles by a master - Nice set of brain-teasers. Review: Still a great book! - 60 great fun puzzles, this book dates back to 1994 but is still as valid now as it was then (no old-fashioned problems involving money in pounds, shillings and pence or similar). As an example, is it possible to place 6 cigarettes so that each one touches the other 5? There is one chess problem: can you find white's only possible move that does NOT immediately checkmate black (a nice twist), and a nice twist on the old problem where one guard always tells the truth and the other always lies. Solutions are very clearly set out in the back, and too often they are maddeningly simple! No knowledge of maths beyond pre-GCSE required, but plenty to occupy the minds of puzzlers like me who have maths degrees. ## Features - Warning:Do not use near overhead power lines. - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 14,849 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 27 in Recreational Mathematics 221 in Brain Teaser Games 413 in Mathematics Education | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,043 Reviews | ## Images ![My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles (Dover Recreational Math): vii - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71z9B58R-iL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic puzzles by a master *by J***E on 31 May 2025* Nice set of brain-teasers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still a great book! *by 0***Y on 30 April 2013* 60 great fun puzzles, this book dates back to 1994 but is still as valid now as it was then (no old-fashioned problems involving money in pounds, shillings and pence or similar).

As she studies further mathematics A-level, I thought this particularly appropriate, and she has enjoyed the new challenges provided, as the selection of puzzle styles proved very entertaining. It arrived promptly without any issues.
